Sorry I didn’t mention, he’s new to me I’ve had him about 3 months, and he passed a 5 stage vetting

Any advice on a horse that’s gone from a calm sensible horse that’s turned into a very nervous spooky horse. He spooks at every single little thing, and when I mean spook, he doesn’t just jump, he runs away and when you on him, he will spin and bronk. I’ve changed his food from alfalfa oil to...

Im currently in a predicement and wondered if anyone could offer me any advice. Im a keen eventer and have enjoyed it for years. We bought a brilliant horse a couple of years ago who i have been eventing. He went lame late last year and is currently at the hospital and due to have an operation...

Hi guys thanks your feedback. Unfortunately he has already been to a specialist hospital, rainbows in Malton. Whilst he was there he had a back, pelvic and hind leg bone scan. He also had X-rays on both stifles and pedal bones, as this was what was shown on scan. There was slight uptake on...

He was quite unbalanced before this too. The vet has been back out and said he looks sound, just unbalanced. He is moving fine in the field, he's bonkers really

Hi, My TB x welsh was diagnosed with OCD in his stifle last year, i brought him back into work a few weeks after he had a steroid injection (vet said this was ok), though he is so unbalanced, falling in, falling out, (same on lunge), occasionally we can get into a nice outline in trot were he...

ok thanks a lot for your advice. Ive been doing mostly hacking bringing him back into work, like 4 days hack, to two days working in the school. The vet is due back out tomorrow so i will wait to see what she says, thanks again x

Prior to this we were training for...

Barney. He's coming home today!! He's not having surgery he is just having a Steriod injection into stifle. He pedal bone is rotated so needs some special shoes on for that.

What happened with your lad?

Thank you for all your replies. Jacks had a bone scan and they think he had OCD in his stifle, had anyone had experience with this? They also think he's pulled supensory ligament. The hot stops on the bone scan showed left hind pedal, bilateral fetlock, slightly on SI joint and stifle.

Hi, my horse is currently having investigations done due to intermittent lameness, the vets said she thinks it might be a sacroiliac problem. He's going for a bone scan at Rainbows, Malton next week. She said he would need a steroid cortisone injection to treat this. Has anyone had any...

My horse is quite stiff on the left rein, can anyone suggest any exercises that could help this? Also exercises to get the horse listening and concentrating and exercises to keep flatwork interesting I haven't had him long and is canter is quite messy, exercises to improve canter, he becomes...
